Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. Sorry I have been a bit quiet with the whole, 'what I am up to' situation. I am still sick, and yes, I have been for around two or three weeks now, which is absolutely terrible to deal with, and trust me, I wish I was not making this up. I also am going to Boston today, so I am staying up to write some blog posts for you guys, and I will be uploading those while I am hanging out with my family and what not. I really wanted to upload this for you guys, just in case you are going to a party and you are wondering what to wear, so let's hurry up and get started!

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. I am really excited about this new series that I have been starting lately. It's been doing really well lately, and you guys seem to like how to learn to dress like your favorite celebrities. I personally really love this series as well, so I promise to upload more. If you guys have any celebrities in particular that you want to see on my blog, make sure to let me know, and let's just dive right into it!

1) LAY LOOSE

I love this outfit because it is really flattering, yet comfortable. The settle mustard yellow color with the high waisted jeans go well together because you are showing some skin, yet not too much where you feel completely uncomfortable, which is perfect. Add some cute sneakers, or a high quality pair that you can invest in and wear a lot, and throw on some shades and put your hair up in a bun. You only really need some mascara and a lip gloss with a settle tint, and you are out.

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. New Years is also one of my favorite times of the year, other than Christmas, because it is closest to my birthday! I also love making DIY's, and hosting parties as well. If you guys are like me, I think you will really enjoy this post, so keep on reading to see what you can make for this year's New Year party, if you decide to host one. Let's get started!

Cut a long piece of twine and take several pieces of the long gold streamers. Take the tip of the streamer and make a tight not around the twine. Keep on doing that. Then, proceed to add around 5-10 pieces of black streamer, white, add one or two gold streamers in the middle, more white, black, and then the gold. It is a lot easier than it sounds, I swear!

Take a smaller piece of twine, and lay that out. Cut some pieces of paper, and add a black tri…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. Merry Christmas guys! I just wanted to drop by and say that I am so incredibly grateful for you guys, and I hope that you have an amazing holiday, and whatever tradition you celebrate, I hope it is just as great as you guys are, and if you don't celebrate anything, I just hope you had a wonderful day in general!

Anyways, as you can tell by the title, I am going to Boston! I am seriously super excited, you guys have no idea. If you have been a neonator for a while, you would know that I am obsessed with cold weather. I am actually going to visit a school, but I will be there for four days!

My plan is to upload a post every day up until the 31, which is when I leave for Boston. I also will not be posting on the 30th, because it's my birthday. I hope you guys don't mind, but don't worry, you will have a lot of posts to read, and I may even upload more than once a day.

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. I know that at one point in our lives, we have all wanted to get skinnier, or eat healthy and work out more as our New Years Resolution, and trust me guys, we all have failed. Don't worry, you are not the only one. If you have stuck to your resolution, I seriously am impressed. I do want to go gluten free and workout more, so, I thought that for those who can relate to me, I would show you guys some workout life hacks and DIY's, so let's get started!

1) DAILY EXCERCISE

You will need: 7 Mason jars, popsicle sticks, and sharpies. All you have to do is first, label your mason jars for each day of the week, or at least how many days you plan on working out. Then, with your popsicle sticks, start writing workouts you want to do for each day, and put them in the mason jar. I love this because it is super customizable. If you have work on Monday, you will be tired afterward, so you can do less workouts than another day. That's all you r…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. I just wanted to drop by and say to you guys that I did not upload last night for a reason. I went to a party last night, and afterward, was feeling absolutely terrible and sick, so I decided to get some sleep. I planned on uploading the post I was supposed to upload for Blogmas Day #16, however I was officially sick.

I still feel terrible, and I cannot promise you guys that I will be posting every single day of December. I was seriously so proud of myself by posting every single day, and I'm sad that I cannot post every day anymore. However, I have been getting sick back and forth all month, which is also why I can't promise that I will be posting every single day as well.

Anyways, again, I wanted to apologize, however, I will try my hardest to post every single day. Thank you guys for being so understanding! Kisses to my neonators!

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day #15! I personally feel that when I receive a present that someone personally made for me, it makes it that much more special and it puts a smile to my face, so if you want to make some presents this year for your friends, then keep on reading and let's get started!

Place all of your dry ingredients in a bowl and set that aside. Then, place your wet ingredients in a separate bowl, and mix as well. Slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients together. After everything is well mixed, place the mixture in the bath bomb mold. Make sure to over pack in the mold so that the access can fall out. Make sure it's secured, and pop that in the fridge for several hours until it hardens.
2) MISTLE TOES

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day #14! I recently posted a morning routine, which I will link at the end of this post if you haven't seen that already, so I thought I would do a night routine, so let's get started!

1) GET HOME

Once I get home from school, I drop off my things in my room, and just go onto my bed and check Instagram and Snapchat, and then run upstairs to the kitchen to make myself a snack.

2) STUDY

I like to study afterward, and sometimes bring my snack downstairs while studying for tests and doing my homework.

3) DINNER

Depending on whether my parents or tired or not, I sometimes will make dinner. I like to throw some potatoes and carrots in a pan with olive oil at the bottom, and put those for 400 F for around 30-40 minutes. If they still aren't cooked, I will move them over to a bowl and microwave it.

4) BATHROOM ROUTINE

I then head down to the bathroom to brush my teeth while I turn on the shower. Once that's ready, I…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day #13! I seriously love saying that! Anyways, today I am going to be sharing with you guys twenty lies that I KNOW everyone says, and some may be relating to the holiday, so let's get started!

1) You look SOO good in that.
2) I'm okay.
3) I know!
4) Oh my gosh, I remember that day!
5) I totally got you a present, but I'm not giving you any hints. (Wait for it... #lifehack) But, I'll let you guess. It's something you've wanted for the longest time. (They'll tell you what they want before you got them something so you know what to get them!)
6) I love this store too!
7) Oh my gosh, we are the same person, I swear!
8) Yeah, I understand... (NOT)
9) (After running...) Wow, that was a workout. You wanna run an extra mile?
10) I have that too!
11) I know how you feel...
12) That hair color is everything on you.
13) You should get that!
14) (Did you eat my food?) No....
15) At Starbucks... (Sorry, we…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. Today, I thought I would tell you guys twenty five more facts about me. If you have not seen my last post, you can learn more things about me, if you click the link at the end of this post. Let's get started!

1) When I was little, the door slammed on my right hand ring finger, so now I have a massive bump and half of my nail is flat.
2) I got a scar from one of the gymnastic coaches at my gymnasium. It was a temporary coach, just for the day, and her nail scratched against my forehead. Now, my scar looks like a seven on it's side.
3) My current favorite YouTuber is Remi Cruz!
4) When I was younger, I went to one of my best friends soccer games and handed out cheese sticks, and was convinced I was on the team. For years, I told people I played soccer, so... If you are one of the many people I told... I'm sorry.
5) I remember calling 911 when I was three or four, and, I'll just say we had an interesting conversation.
6) I don't…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots, and welcome to Blogmas Day #10! My new series on how you can dress like celebrities has been quite popular lately. My most recent posts, I featured Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid. If you guys want to check that out, I will have those linked at the end of this post. One of my fashion icons is Zendaya, so I had to feature her on this series, so let's get started!

1) FORMAL STREET WEAR

This outfit is so adorable. It mixes white, grey, and black. Take an over-the-knee boot, a cute collared dress, and a matching colored coat. All you have to do is run some water over your hairbrush and push it backward. This is so sleek and fashionable, and I seriously love it.

2) CLASSIC OUTFIT

I love this because it is classic, but bold at the same time. All you really need is a leather jacket, white t-shirt, ripped jeans, and some sneakers. It is seriously so simple, and most people can recreate this outfit by pulling out items from their closet. Pull a section of you…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots, and welcome to Blogmas Day 8! If you guys love hosting parties just as much as I do, you are planning on hosting a holiday party, so I thought I would give you guys some ideas on what you guys can do, so let's get started!

1) HOT COCOA STATION

I love this idea because it is a lot more simple to put together than you guys would think. Shoutout to my perfectionist's out there who love to set up things like this, haha!

First off, start by taking two mason jars and screwing off the lid. Glue it onto one of the candle sticks, and fill it up with some candy. You can also put some cocoa in the airtight containers, more toppings in the mason jars, treats on the platter, and more. Add a cute sign and you are done!

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day #9! Today I wanted to do something different, especially for my newer neonators! If you have been reading my blog for a while, you would know that I sometimes like to make a blog post for my new viewers, basically a starting post and the main view of my blog. I've never shown my newer viewers on what my most popular posts are, what my personal favorites are, and all that jazz, so I will be showing you guys all of that today, so let's get started!

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day 8! I wanted to do something I have not done in a while, and that is my morning routine, Christmas edition, so let's get started!

1) DRINK WATER

The first thing I like to do in the morning when I get ready for school is drink water. This is such a great idea because it helps you get energized and you are more awake when you start your day.

2) PUT ON MY CLOTHES + GET READY

Honestly, it really depends on the day, whether I wear a cute shirt or sweatpants. If it's a testing day, I like to keep it simple and comfortable. I typically do not wear makeup just because I still am looking for that perfect foundation, so if you guys have any suggestions, please let me know!

Then I just walk quickly down the hall to my bathroom and brush my teeth, brush my hair, and get ready!

3) MAKE BREAKFAST

I want to say that my breakfast changes very frequently, depending on how much time I have to make it, however, when I am waiting a…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day 7! I recently uploaded a post on how to dress like Selena Gomez, and it ended up being really popular, so I decided to do one of my fashion icons, Gigi Hadid. Let's get started!

1) FORMAL CASUAL

I love this outfit, because you could wear it to multiple events! A casual red carpet to a meeting. Take a long navy, sleeveless, loose vest with a white sleeveless, strapless top. Tuck it into some navy pants matching the color of the vest and some strappy black heels.

2) ADORABLE AIRPORT OUTFIT

If you are the type of person who likes to stay comfortable but dress well on top of that, this is the perfect outfit for you. Take a two piece outfit piece, preferably grey to match the picture up top. If it is a soft material and very stretch, trust me guys, you will be comfortable. Pair it with some white Vans, a comfortable carryon, and throw a denim jacket over the bag and some cute glasses.

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to Blogmas Day #6! I wanted to share with you guys some ideas on what you can ask for this Christmas, so let's get started!

1) KEURIG

I personally love drinking coffee. Honestly guys, my obsession is unhealthy! If you love coffee just as much as I do, I recommend asking for a coffee machine. I am personally asking for a keurig. This has been on my list for 2-3 years now. They are so incredibly easy to use, and if you are not a fan of coffee, you can also make tea with this machine. They come in all colors, and you can get them from coffee, to amazon, and basically any kitchen appliance store.

2) SPERRY BOOTS

I love Sperry's boots designs because they are so cute! If you love to ski or snowboard, and want the type of boot that you can wear while lounging around a lodge or going out to dinner and you live somewhere very cold, I would definitely recommend investing in a nice pair.

Hi neonators, it's neon dots, and welcome to Blogmas Day #5! As you guys may or may not know by now, I am obsessed with doing tags, so I thought I would do the winter tag, so let's get started!

1) FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCT FOR WINTER

The liquid lipstick trend has been around for a while now, and I am seriously obsessed with my Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick from Bare Minerals, in the shade Bo$$ in particular. On the lips, it is the perfect shade of a dark nude color, perfect for this time of year. They retail for $18 USD.

2) FAVORITE WINTER SCENT/CANDLE

I don't have a picture of the candle, but I got the best small $3 USD candle from Target in the dollar section. It is a Harvest Sangria candle, and I am obsessed!

3) FAVORITE WINTER BEVERAGE

You guys know that I only drink one drink from Starbucks, and that is a latte. During the winter time, I like to just get a regular soy latte, but every other day of the year, I get it with ice.

Hey neonators, it's neon dots, and welcome to Blogmas Day #4! I love saying that, haha! I thought that I would show you guys five fashion items to have in your closet that will make you stand out in the best possible way, so let's get started!

1) ORANGE/RED LEATHER JACKET

Having a black leather jacket is a classic fashion item that everyone has lately. When I see women wearing red or orange leather jackets, or even a combo of both, I instantly want to ask them where their jacket is from. If you wear all white underneath, or throw on a t-shirt and some ripped jeans, your jacket can be the pop of color that makes your outfit unique.

2) STATEMENT NECKLACES

If you have been a neonator for a while, you guys would know that I am obsessed with statement necklaces. I think that with a collared shirt, and maybe even a leather skirt, it can really be gorgeous and make an outfit pop.

3) GRAPHIC T-SHIRT + BLAZER COMBO

I know that this trend has been quite popular lately, and these are two…

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here, and welcome to blogmas day #3! Today I thought that I would tell you guys a little more about myself, so let's just get started!

1) I am 100% Korean, but I was born and raised in San Francisco.

2) I have been blogging for three years.

3) The most number of posts I uploaded in one year was 240 in 2015.

4) My most viewed post was called Dove Cameron. I found a really cute outfit she wore to a premier. She was up and coming in her Disney show Liv and Maddie, so I figured I would feature her on my blog. This was actually before Dashin Fashion was a thing.

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. As you all probably know, a huge trend has been going on around YouTube called vlogmas, where YouTubers vlog (film clips of their lives) daily up until Christmas! I thought that I would do blogmas this year!
If I am being perfectly honest with you guys, I really do not know if this is a thing, but you know what, I wanted to try it out this year! I have been posting daily for almost a week now, and I am so proud of myself. I know that I have been MIA the past couple of months, and, once again, I want to apologize for the millionth time!
I love blogging for you guys, and I haven't been able to do so lately because I am very busy with school, which I absolutely hate. I recently decided I would go back to prewriting blog posts during the weekend so that when I am busy with homework and what not, I can instantly upload a post for you guys real quick, which makes my life so much easier!
I thought that if I was already posting daily, I would make …

Hey neonators, it's neon dots here. Today, one of my friends asked me if I could post a cooking related holiday post, so shoutout to my best friend for giving me this genius idea, so let's just get started!

1) Butter a 13x9 inch baking dish and line it with 2 sheets of parchment paper, one horizontally and one vertically, leaving a 1-inch over hang on all sides. Set aside.
2) In a bowl, including an electric stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar, and mix until well combined. Mix in almond extract. With the mixer, set on low speed and slowly add in flour and mix until combined. Mix and fold in sprinkles. Press dough into an even layer in prepared pan. Chill dough in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 F˚.
3) Lift dough from p…
